Why are intelligent brits such snobs

RE: Why are intelligent brits such snobs
Anyone could be a snob when compared with the OP.

I mean, all you'd need would be an education equivalent to a 3 year old. It's. It's not really that hard. Smile

RE: Why are intelligent brits such snobs
Doesn't the OP's question answer itself?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I can't figure out what is more offensive to me, the idiocy or his avatar's reference to the new Duke Nukem game. Original was classic but that new one was shit!

Being a snob and being intelligent are not one in the same. In fact, I'd say those who are the most snobby are the biggest dumbfucks alive. From my experience anyway.

I don't quite understand the US usage of the word 'snob'. In the UK it refers to someone who shows contempt towards people they see as their social inferiors. It is unrelated to intelligence and often a mark of the newly rich.

Yes it is BrokenQuill. Don't stress. I am to understand that it is a jibe / dig at one of the staff by a current member who decided it would be fun to set up a sock-puppet account.

Need I say, they..... The sock puppet account.... Did not last long.

No need for apologies BrokenQuill. Happy to clarify for you. Smile
